No sketch, no reference photo just a sentence. Meshy's Text to 3D turns a written prompt into a textured, PBR-ready mesh in about a minute, on the current Meshy 7.1 engine. Here's how the prompt actually becomes the model, and where it still falls short.
~60 second generations · up to 8K PBR textures · exports to 8 formats
Text to 3D now runs on Meshy 7.1 by default sharper surface detail and better proportion accuracy than Meshy 6. Meshy 6 stays selectable for anyone mid-project.
PBR texture maps now scale from 2K up to 8K resolution depending on plan and settings see how texturing works.
Choose Standard for max detail or Smart Topology for lean, game-ready meshes at generation time no separate remesh pass required.
Need a whole prop list from text, not one model at a time? The 3D Agent chains multiple Text to 3D calls in one chat see a full set in one chat.
FBX, OBJ, GLB, USDZ, STL, BLEND, 3MF and DXF remain available on every generation see features.
Each Text to 3D generation is still 20 credits, successful or not see pricing.
Describe the object, style and material the more specific, the better the first result.
Pick pose (None/A-Pose/T-Pose/Custom), model type (Standard/Smart Topology), and symmetry.
Meshy returns an untextured mesh first, then applies full PBR texturing in the same pass.
Not quite right? Re-prompt, adjust the seed, or switch to Image to 3D with a reference.
Download in your target format, or send straight into free auto-rig and animation.
Game props, original characters, sculptural and decorative objects, fantasy/sci-fi assets.
Product concepting, architectural elements works, but benefits from tighter, more technical prompts.
Matching an exact real object? Image to 3D with up to 4 angle photos beats text alone.

Prompt-writing walkthrough
Meshy's model interprets your prompt, generates an untextured mesh, then applies full PBR texturing in the same pass typically around 60 seconds on the current Meshy 7.1 engine.
Yes. The free plan gives 100 credits/month (about 5 generations) with no card required.
Generation is technically permitted, but commercial ownership and distribution rights are not granted for outputs based on someone else's IP see license and commercial use.
20 credits per generation, whether or not you keep the result. Budget for retries when writing vague prompts see pricing.
Text to 3D starts from a written description; Image to 3D starts from up to 4 reference photos and generally produces more accurate proportions for a specific real object.
Yes. Auto-rigging and 500+ animation presets are free (0 credits) on every plan see features.
FBX, OBJ, GLB, USDZ, STL, BLEND, 3MF and DXF covering game engines, DCC tools and 3D printing slicers.
100 free credits, no card required see what your idea looks like as a textured 3D model in about a minute.
